The following information should be visible on the CD, DVD, Tape, or a space provided where the information can be written clearly later. Some vendors forget to write their own contact information on the labels. It is helpful to have the contact information for the media’s creator.

Please reference the examples on the following pages.

A Note on Handwriting
A hand-written label is not acceptable. Handwritten labels are cryptic and illegible. Further, a pen can damage the media. Vendors should not make the firm re-label media. The purpose of the label is to provide a complete picture of the origin and content. If a label must have handwriting, block letters are required. Cursive handwriting is never acceptable. Bear in mind that other people have to read your writing.

Remember, the firm is making significant investment of the client's money. The media provides the first impression of the vendor's work. Perception is reality. If the delivery looks boiler room, then the Litigation Support persons will view the vendor as boiler room quality. If a vendor is sloppy on their label, chances are they are sloppy in all else they do.
